sooooooooooo I started with a fabulous sketch that Lesley created for our Stampaholics 10 min challenge!

 

all right let me show you what I was thinking at first okay

I took out some very Vanilla Cardstock

 

took out two stamp sets and changed my mind

yes me I changed my mind too funny uh??? LOL

 

went with Welcome Christmas and Notably Ornate

here's where I start my timer!

 

I used my stampin write marker

this is Early Expresso

 

i did the two little flowers on either side with Baja Breeze

interesting combonation I know!

 

things are coming together very nicely

now I am going to do some sponging

 

with Baja Breeze

 

I am feeling like I may run out of time!

GHUHR

this part was easy

put then after this I ran into some difficulties

take a look what happened!!!

 

ahw poor little Baby Max

he wanted to visit with his mama

it`s hard to make a card with this!

lol

(not to mention that I sit on a ball lol)

 

how could I not stop what I was doing for that face!!! 

okay sorry

now for my little accent piece on the side

I went with some pretty little lace ribbon

ofcourse I am out of time at this point

 

voila there is my card

in less then 15 min

now we all know that is amazing for me right!

Welcome Christmas & the 10 min Stampaholic Colour Challenge

Stampin Up Welcome Christmas along with a NEW RIBBON Wreath!

good day y'all!

so today is our 10 min Stampaholic Colour Challenge

it was my week to come up with a colour challenge!

so here is what I did!

 

here is our colour challenge for today

I chose  to go with Wild Wasabi for my extra colour

okay I have to tell you that it's taken me 3 1/2 hour to finish this card

he he

well a CARD anyways - here's what happened - my card once I actually decided it took me 18 min

 

my original thougth was to go with this stamp set

Welcome Christmas

 

this is just not going to work I am going to try something different

and then I found the jackpot

this lovely lady on Splitcoast had an amazing ribbon wreath posted

click here to get to the video on how I did it! 

so I went in that direction

mind you I did lot's of mind changing along the way so more time chewed up!

 

look at the time now

 

okay so now I have tried alot of different types of ribbons

then I thought okay let's go with this ribbon

 

now I coloured this one with Poppy Parade

 

this is what I ended up with in 8 min 2 seconds

now I used another ribbon and used my marker "Wild Wasabi"

 

this is going to be for my bow 

I will attach to my wreath

 

I just have to show you my mess

I have to clean this up before I can mount this wreath

holly cow

now onto the stamp set that I actually was going to use LOL

 

I used my stampin write markers AGAIN

 

looks great

I am out of time so I am going to start my timer again

I want to cut this out

 

I have cut out and put brads in

I also used my big shot and gave my white cardstock some texture

 

then I rounded the corners 

 

ouh and pretty little pearls

 
 
and I am done

I know a far cry from 10 min

but yha I know I am working hard at make simple cards

well as you can tell

3 1/2 hours hard LOL

good golly what a goof I am he he

 

so here is my card

hope you like it!

 

here is my first crack at making a ribbon wreath card

 

my reath upclose with the pearls and the ribbon
